I still kiss you goodnight
beneath the moon
and play-school sheets
that soak up my life long tears.
And I wonder
if the road weeps still
after catching you too late ~
leaving mummy's arms
while searching for your breath.
It lingers
in white wheeled emotion
keeping the memories
turning inward
so deeply.
And teddy can not sleep
in a mismade bed ~
alone
searching for you ~
with me...
